However, before the tracepoint could\nfire, another task raced in and freed that lock.\n\nFix this by moving the tracepoint inside the spinlock, which should\nensure that this doesn't happen." } ], "metrics": [ { "cvssV3_1": { "version": "3.1", "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H", "baseScore": 7.8, "baseSeverity": "HIGH" }, "scenarios": [ { "lang": "en", "value": "AV:L - The vulnerable `posix_lock_inode()` is reached from the local `fcntl(F_SETLK/F_SETLKW/F_OFD_SETLK)` syscall path (`fcntl_setlk` → `do_lock_file_wait` → `vfs_lock_file` → `posix_lock_file`), which is the universally present attack surface on every system. The nfsd/lockd/ksmbd callers of `vfs_lock_file()` also reach it, but those require an optional network file server to be configured and exporting a filesystem with no private `->lock`, so the core defect is characterized as local.\nAC:L - The attacker controls both sides of the race: one thread issues an overlapping same-type `F_SETLK` that merges into an existing lock (making `request` point at a list-resident lock), while a second attacker thread issues an overlapping `F_UNLCK`/`close()` that deletes and `kmem_cache_free()`s that entry, and the window between `spin_unlock(&ctx->flc_lock)`/`percpu_up_read()` and the tracepoint can be hit repeatedly in a tight loop with threads pinned to separate CPUs. Consistent with this CNA's scoring of other tracepoint-gated use-after-frees (CVE-2026-63910, CVE-2024-56759), the tracepoint-enabled precondition does not raise complexity.\nPR:L - Any unprivileged local user can call `fcntl()` on a file descriptor for a file it can already open; the only gate on the path is the `security_file_lock()` LSM hook, with no capability, root, or namespace requirement. POSIX advisory locks work on ordinary files in `/tmp`, `/dev/shm`, or the user's home directory.\nUI:N - The attacker's own threads perform every step — allocating the lock, merging it, and freeing it concurrently — with no action required from any other user or administrator.\nS:U - The freed `struct file_lock`, the corrupted read, and any resulting panic are all confined to the kernel of the same system; no VM, IOMMU, container, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - The tracepoint reads seven fields out of a freed `filelock_cache` object — including the raw `flc_blocker` and `flc_owner` kernel pointers and the 64-bit `fl_start`/`fl_end` — after the attacker has had the opportunity to groom and reallocate that slab object, disclosing arbitrary reallocated kernel memory contents and defeating KASLR. Per kernel scoring guidance, use-after-free is rated High.\nI:H - A use-after-free on a `struct file_lock` that the attacker can reliably reallocate under control gives the classic UAF primitive — the stale `request` pointer is consumed as a live object after `kmem_cache_free()`, and heap spraying against the freed slot makes the condition exploitable for memory corruption rather than a benign stale read. Consistent with kernel guidance and this CNA's rating of the equivalent `dma_buf_fd()` tracepoint UAF, integrity impact is High.\nA:H - This is precisely the reported failure mode: the UAF read faulted the kernel on the reporter's MTE-enabled ARM64 system (`do_tag_check_fault` → `__do_kernel_fault` → panic), and on KASAN, hardware-tag, `slub_debug`, or `DEBUG_PAGEALLOC` builds the dereference of freed slab memory oopses. The race can be re-triggered in a loop, giving a repeatable local denial of service." } ] } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo":
